I don’t think Trump would attack Canada with a tariff out of the blue. Maybe he’ll wait for a moment where he wants something from Canada. And Trudeau won’t take the call, or Trudeau will insult him. And Trump will slap back with tariffs.

The immediate reaction in Canada will be rage and fury at the evil Trump.

I think you’ll see violence. I know that sounds nuts, but you will.

I think the Canadian stock market will be slaughtered. And the Canadian dollar.

Imagine how real estate prices will fall, especially in Toronto.

The Media Party will be unanimous:

It’s Trump’s fault! Trudeau’s the hero who fought bravely for Canada! He protected us! Or at least, he protected Quebec’s few thousand dairy farmers, and he protected the CBC.

But 160,000 auto workers? And anyone whose retirement savings are now worthless?
